Recs if you like The Worm and His Kings (The Worm and His Kings, #1)...

horror books with a queer focus, including queer stories and central characters

Reading suggestions for the Trans Rights Readathon! (Any year of course). Books with trans characters of any label (or any non-cis gender identity) by trans/non-cis authors. I have not read all the books in this list. Feel free to name your fave books by trans authors in the comments!

Shorter books (under 200 pages) that are part of at least one quest. Many are also in the public domain, making them easily accessible when you want to grind for that next badge.

Works in the speculative, fantasy, science fiction, and horror genres by authors who are not cisgender! Two spirit, nonbinary, trans, genderfluid, and other gender diverse authors count!

Horror books about Cults, where terror is permeated by religion, closed communities and disturbing brainwashing. I will keep and eye open for more recs from the Pagebound club 👁️!

as we approach the end of the year, i thought of compiling a collection of short audiobooks for anyone trying to sneak more books onto their read list or for those trying to complete reading challenges! best of luck! 🌟

Horror books by trans, Two Spirit, nonbinary, et al authors (may or may not include trans* characters).

Horror books with a page count of 200 pages or less.

Before we started defining novellas by word count, they were defined as being any book less than 200 pages. Source: my Analysis of Short Stories & Literature professor in community college. I loved that class. But he loved James Joyce. So, ymmv, I guess.

Botanical horror is great and all, but have you ever thought about all the horrors scuttling beneath the leaves?

Horror that features bugs (insects and arachnids - argue about whether shellfish should be involved in the comments) as a major antagonist.

Times are tough… Here is a list of books that I was able to find as free audiobooks available on YouTube or Spotify!

Is it bury your gays if they're all queer?

deep dark old woods -- weird small towns -- ancient gods -- horrors beyond comprehension -- A Welcome to Elderfield inspired list

Books on my TBR with LGBTQIA+ characters or themes.

What is it with queer people and cults?

A mix of older classic weird fic and more modern strange stories. Please give me suggestions!!

On the quest to collect badges, sometimes you just need a shorter read for a palate cleanse. I made this list as a resource for quicker reads in between heavy hitters - all books listed below are 1) included in at least one PageBound quest and 2) are 200 pages or less. Any and all leads are welcome!

Please note: This will not include books only found in readalongs or limited quests, as I want this list to reflect books that satisfy always-available quests.

Mixed genres but all 2SLGBTQIA+
